BB was forced to deny her own death.
This turbulent autumn prompted the reclusive actress to break her usual silence. Brigitte Bardot, who had become the victim of a macabre rumor on social media, used her X-account to reassure the world. "I'm doing well. I don't know which idiot spread these 'fake news' about my disappearance, but I have no intention of retreating," she tweeted with her legendary candor. A message that then allayed fears.
Today, her silence on her renewed hospital stay speaks volumes. An official statement on her condition is missing, leaving room for uncertainty. Her millions of fans worldwide, who know her more for her commitment to animal rights than for her rare public appearances, are now following every bit of information with concern. The contrast is striking between the woman who shunned the spotlight in "Contempt" and the one who is going through this difficult time in complete seclusion. Everyone is hoping for her speedy recovery.
